Why I Am Taking This Class

I decided to sign up for this class because...
1. I wanted to take an IntroSem because the classes are small and discussion-based.
2. I am very interested in languages, but I have never taken a linguistics class and I wanted to try something new.
3. I like food and I started cooking from time to time with my friends this summer
I have studied Japanese, Spanish and Arabic, and have traveled to Asia, the Middle East, Central America and Europe. I enjoy sampling foreign cuisine in these countries, and at home in the United States. I am also very interested in learning about and experiencing other cultures and I have found food to be an accessible and tasty portal into this understanding.
